You may have to submit evidence to support your application for school admission, as detailed in the School admissions policy (pdf).
Once you have submitted your application you will need to submit any relevant evidence using a link on the confirmation page.
Each time you submit evidence you will receive a confirmation email which confirms submission of your evidence only, not your application.
A separate confirmation email will be sent once you have submitted your application, please email [email protected] if you don't receive it.
